E
If you love the life you live,
Then you'll get a lot more done
Be more inclined to take the reins
       B
Than turn away and run
      E                           A
it's very rare it seems to get a lifetime guarantee,
         E                             B
So I suppose self satisfaction be the key

    E
My father is a wealthy, self made man
                                          B
But his wealth does not consist of riches or
acres of land
    A                       E
Instead he has a family who are His biggest fans
                                         B
that's something that I one day hope to have

     A
So I'll cherish the simple things
     E
The easy took for granted things
      B                                 E
Like going round my Mum's house for my tea
    A
And argue with my sister,
      E
Only God knows how I missed her
          B                                   E
it's the simple things that mean the most to me

Argh, he gets up each day at five
Starts the car and makes the drive
Shutters up, starts the fryers
Serves out food to all the buyers in the town
As they stand there in the same old line
Get there every day at the same old time
No, you never hear him grumble and groan
Cause they're the people in the line that
he built it on

And like me he cherished the simple things
The easy took for granted
Things like going round his Mum's house for his tea
And argue with his sister
Only God knows how he missed her
It's the simple things that mean the most to... me
